Cristina David’s artistic practice employs photography and video as main means of expression and documenting the artist’s personal and peculiar view on the world, herself and the passing of time. Her projects bring forth more than often text, performance, objects and installations with a playful and ironic, overall conceptual twist. With a MFA from the Art Academy Of Bergen, Norway, Cristina David was engaged in various artistic residencies, in Seydisfjordur, Iceland (2015), Vienna, Austria (2014), Santa Monica, California (2012), Bratislava, Slovakia (2011), etc. Her works have been shown in the “The School of Kyiv”, Kyiv Biennial 2015, in exhibitions at Kunsthalle Winterthur (2015), The National Museum of Contemporary Art (Bucharest, 2014 and 2013), The University of California Irvine University Art Gallery/Room (Los Angeles, 2013), Futura Gallery (Prague, 2013), Shedhalle (Zurich, 2011), in Manifesta8 (Murcia, Cartagena, 2010), Museum of Contemporary Art of Finland (Helsinki, 2006).
